It doesn’t help that the game is so stingy with consumables at the start that it discourages their use. And all the vendors are scattered so it’s a pain to go buy them. Forces you to go farm which isn’t fun with how easy early game areas are. Should have just copied the shop from Bloodborne that sells infinite stuff and automatically populates with useful items once you defeat bosses or reach certain areas.
Adding to #11, DO NOT rely on the puppet string tier 3 for any enemies / bosses that 1: move around a lot (Romeo, Nameless Puppet, Iaxaia) or 2: have overhead attacks. What will happen most of the time is you will pull towards them, go into the air then they will move away, you will miss your landing attack and get punished. Or if they have an overhead; just get knocked down mid air.
I beat Romeo and Namless Puppet mainly with the String, I get your point, but you can time your string jumps so your jumping attack lands on them (at the end of their combos, or if you dodge and you can hit them from behind while they are hitting the air, when they are flinched, etc)
The main problem with the parry timing is it isn't reactive it's predictive. After the wind up the attack comes out too fast it feels like a lot of attacks simply lack frames of animation
I dont know why everyone is complaining about parry in this game. I cant parry in souls games or elden ring but this game is jack shit easy. Ive buttered my way through all 7 bosses so far with parries. Only the furnace dude gave me trouble with his 50% desperation move cause i didnt know you could “block” it.
@@thefoxmoonlight I guess the main thing is that the game introduces the parry mechanic as if its the core mechanic of the game. The early bosses parade master and the policeman thing is quite easy with parries, they explicitly placed a training dummy in front of the parade master bossroom as in recommending to utilize it, one might think that this game is meant to be played like sekiro. By perfect parrying every attack. In reality it is not. Guarding is extremely effective with the high guard regains and all the p organ perks that help maintain guard regain. Just strafing sideways is sometimes more effective than parrying, as you don't get knocked back. Later bosses have fast chain attacks that are quite hard to parry every single attack, and once you blunder you get comboed to death.This game requires you to utilize mostly everything, dodges, parries, and simple guarding. It in itself is not very much a problem, but the early game sections seems to suggest that parries are a core mechanic, and if people try to follow that strategy to late game, they will have a hard time. Thats probably why.
Agree. The short parry window is not an issue. The obnoxious attack delay followed by extremely fast hit landing makes it very difficult to react. Most of the fight is more remembering the timing and muscle memory than reacting to attacks.
Yes, this is my main gripe with the game, and before someone says "git gud, skill issue, deahh!" I have played other many souls games, and they don't have this same issue (besides Elden Ring to a degree). The extremely long and delayed wind up, followed by a ridiculously fast strike makes it frustratingly difficult to parry. This is not good difficulty, it's just cheap and annoying. This is mostly an issue with the bosses, but even basic enemies have really annoying delayed attacks.
Something I learned on complete accident, that I haven't heard anyone talk about, the Greatsword of the Ark. If you attack and instantly do the transform fable art, it does an attack as it transforms the weapon. One more thing to add about this game being a love letter to soulsborne games.
@@Dude357 soulsborne is the ''right'' term and it means fromsoftware games, soulslike means games from other developers, nobody likes people that takes things too literally... that's annoying
I've heard its an exploit but it feels pretty broken. If you hold down your legion button while Aegis is equipped, you can rapidly tap the normal block button and your aegis will auto perfect guard everything. You use up a bit of legion, but even with the thing not charged you can block rapid fire hits. Try it on the robots in the exhibition, the big ones. You'll be breaking their sawblades and drills in no time and their damage drops.
honestly the trident carried me through the whole game, i tried switching to the circle one but the trident is so much better r2 to r1 and repeat you’ll beat any boss
Went with a "balanced" build and used the electric club, the fire knife and the acid spear. I like when weapons have an additional status effect like the frost sword from Dark Souls 3 When an enemy is electrified, burning or acidizied, they take more damage from your same weapon that caused the debuff.
i recommend the mjolnir handle which can be used for motivity builds or the acidic great curved sword, as the yboth come with the handle fable art "absolute defence" Absolutely op fable art, decent window to use it, basically a free perfect block for its like, about 1.5 section duration. Only cost 1 fable bar. Boss gonna use a flurry of attacks? Absolute defence will perfect parry every attack for the next 1.5ish seconds.
Due to how attacks and guarding work, every new "elite" or boss enemy is likely to be frustrating as you have little hope of consistently guarding, let alone doing perfect guards until you know the timing of all of their attacks and even then you are unlikely to be able to perfect guard combo attacks. Since you can't cancel out of an attack animation, combat can turn into a very slow game of waiting for a known opening to get one or two hits in, then waiting again. That is part of the reason Advance elemental application is so effective, as you are still doing damage while waiting for the attack combo to end. This is also the reason it is generally a waste of time to fight any of the big enemies that respawn as they don't have unique drops, nor do they give as much Ergo (and potential item drop) as you will get killing multiple smaller easy enemies in the same amount of time. I realize you sort of covered this before, but it isn't simple at all. Two Simple Tricks to Master Lies of P Combat! th-cam.com/video/tV-HQI_Vl9o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KRUOsGTKeNQBW3dJ I guess you could do the same thing for the Mad Clown Puppet for comparison as that is a particularly annoying enemy to get hits in, though ironically the fury attack is relatively "easy" to perfect guard.
With the sword of ark just tapping heavy attack does a forward stab which is great for enemies that are charging. I would sprint toward enemies, let go of sprint and tap heavy attack to quickly engage enemies and keep distance.
When fighting a boss with 2 stages separated by a CUT SCENE you can TELEPORT back to the STARGAZER and regain all heals. The boss will also stay in its 2nd form allowing a easier boss fight. Haven’t seen anyone mention this pls upvote?
Weapon weight seems to tie into how much stagger/weapon durability enemies suffer when you perfect guard, it's pretty obvious when you're guarding with a huge weapon vs a dagger and I used the wrench perfect guards to make romeo break his weapon and stun himself repeatedly
A really early game farm is in venignini workshop. It’s only 250 ish ergo per run but it’s DIRECTLY next to a stargazer. Specifically the first one in his workshop. You walk up the stairs, into the left door down the hole and kill the puppets. Then you have the door for the farm and a couple items from the chest. I’ve got it up to 1500 ergo per minute using fulminis and the coil going R2 fulminis. My coil is leveled+2 and none of my stats other than capacity are more than 10.
so cool to see you aggain here for Lies of P, great tipps! Been watching you alot back when you streamed Hearthstone when it came out ;) Thx for the content, been enjoying it a lot!
Another thing that can break the groggy state is the final upgrades of most arms, like the explosion of the fire or thr tipple charge of the electricity
I wish you could get the Perfect Guard Grindstone earlier! I struggled so hard with the early and mid game bosses, but the grindstone helped tremendously with the 3 tough bosses near the end
Adding to the respec portion of this advice; please pay attention to the HANDLES of your weapons in your play through! 1. If started your play through as a technique build but want to change to a motivity build, then you will have to switch out the handles of your weapons to match; which can also be a pain since there is a limited amount of cranks to pick up through the game. 2. Although respecing is a nice feature, I would suggest that instead of respecing, I would start a fresh game just to be more safe in terms of ergo; but, if you are a balanced build, respecing shouldn’t be a problem.
If you're against a boss that can be hard to stagger, or that you feel you lose to often because you can't make up for the damage they output, go for the attack link on the puppet string, using it gets you fully out of the way of their next attack and always slightly staggers them and deals a lot of stagger damage, works for basically anyone, most humans if they can't be grabbed and pulled with the normal string might dodge but when it works it pays off. Larger enemies usually won't be able to dodge it so on elite enemies and bosses like swamp monster it's very useful, even more so than any other legion arm i've found.
Shotputs are an overpowered throw able due to the staggering chances. Pay attention to the enemies for what element to use against them (petrified weak to fire, puppets weak to electric or acid.) I made the mistake of using the bosses ergo for the boost the levels faster. and I'm still in my first playthrough. As for the weapons thing. Choose the handle for your preferred fight style (I mainly used the puppets saber for the majority of the first half of the game) but if you are going for a specific style for advanced users in Lies of P go with the acidic handle and the salamander dagger for the reach and flame situation and switch to the electrical weapon you get early in the game for puppets.
For easy mode use the straight sawblade with the master chef's knife handle; much less stamina consumption than the dancer handle and it attacks faster too, bit less scaling but if you are going only for technique it doesnt really matter.
In my first meeting with Aldoro the hound I picked the Hotel Krat option instead of lying to him twice. Will that lock me out of obtaining the Golden Lie Special Weapon? And also every time I tried to pet at Hotel Krat she hissed at me every time am I petting her wrong or is there a hidden mechanic. And also I'm planning to take on the White Lady boss ids there any tips you could provide
if you mean the singer you need to parry her attacks until you break her sword to make it much easier, at that point you can just move and look to do a critical hit from her back. About the cat I think you need to become more human to be able to pet her, you need to listen to music and lie in your playthrough, except to the blonde robot, you can tell him the truth :)@@tomchan742
Game is kind of easy so far with a Motivity build, I ran through Bosses on my second playthrough, whereas in Sekiro I could only get past Owl after a week of attempts. Big Wrench head and Police Baton Handle with charged heavy attacks can carry you through the entire game.
came across your channel through Lies of P and have been loving your videos & guides. Subscription is out and looking forward to more video. Best regards from Germany 🤘
I had read that, in order to unlock the next phase P-Organ nodes, I would have to unlock two nodes from the current phase. I noticed you only unlocked one phase 3 node (the Pulse Cell enhancer). So, did you reset your P-Organ, using the Saintess statue, after unlocking phase 4?
You can skip phases. Like if you unlock 2 nodes in phase 1, it unlocks phase 2. Then you unlock the other 2 nodes in phase 1 and it opens up phase 3. You don't have to unlock any nodes in phase 2 to go to phase 3, this way. If you reset p-organ, it doesn't keep phase 4 open. It completely resets the nodes and you have to unlock the phases all over again.
@@P4wnyhof It's good to know I can unlock phase 4 without wasting quartz on a node I don't think it'll be useful to me. By the way, the only phase 3 node I found really useful to me was also the Pulse Cell Enhancer.
My fav weapons are the Bone cutting sawblade with dancers blade and the live puppet greatsword with krat police handle. The krat handle is good for tight spaces as I find the dancers blade hits right to left so it gets caught on stuff
It's funny how i can parry lady butterfly's multiple complex fast attacks in Sekiro, but i have a hard time dealing with this games delayed attacks that drag on before they land, and they land FAST.
I dont know if its a glitch or something, but I could do the reset of P Organs and stuff, at the Golden tree. From the second i found it. So way before the game showed me this statue.
Finally done it, im sure your strategy does work, but i found if i could survive long enough to get him to 1 third health. I can then use 3 cells to fin8sh him off😊
Why do people keep recommending the Saintess statue when you can actually respec your points way before that at the gold coin tree right after the black rabbit brotherhood boss fight
Easy mode would be using summons (specters) I know you can’t for every boss but the majority you can. I was on ng+++ and figured I’d finally use one bc why not.
I have now died of laxasia over 100 times after 3 days (mostly in the 2nd phase) I don't have the strongest weapon (starting weapon +10) on strength. And I'm not even remotely broken. I know it's my fault if I get too greedy or something else happens. After all this shit, I'm even more motivated to beat her ass today.
You can also respec directly at the gold tree. Just give it a moment at no coins and if there’s a coin, collect, wait a moment then the menu will pop up. Reset p-organ stats all that jazz
A thing i found later than i should have is if you arnt able to get to the statue room to reset level you can interact with the gold coin tree to do the same thing
7:15 increasing pulse cell recovery isn’t for keeping up with the hp you’re getting since the pulse cells heal you based on the percentage of your health, so if you heal half your health bar with one, that’ll be 200hp if you have 400hp, and 300hp if you have 600hp
Throwable are straight up broke even after this latest patch. I beat bosses with just throwable ammo just to see if I could do it and I have beat bosses and mini bosses with just throwable objects. The shot put being my favorite but of course you got acid, fire, electric, pipes, saw blades, cluster grenades (that never seen to do much damage) and a bunch of other throwable stuff. Straight easy mode!!
@@P4wnyhof Thank you, but the butler didnt have it when I asked. I watched a video on where all the supply crates are and it turned out that I was missing the one from Estella Opera House.
This is my first time playing a game like this I never had the confidence to play dark souls or any of the games like it because I'm a casual story mode kind of gamer and for some reason this game has me really excited and I was the idiot who thought this game wouldn't be anything like dark souls or those games I don't know why I just thought it'd be like a borderlands or far cry style game don't ask why I had that thought just what I was thinking so of course I had to get it.... And just as I feared I am terrible at it I made a tracker for each boss and 8 times for the first boss 23 times for mad donkey and 5 times for scrapped watchmen and I couldn't keep count to how many times I died to just regular enemies and I'm on the first part of phase 3 haven't even fought the first boss yet... But I'm so mad at this game because it's impossible for me, I highly recommend playing it because deep down I am having fun and I think people will love this game but I just can't play these games im just terrible at it
OMG!! What a Beautifull storie😂 Man, if You are getting far in the Game You are not Bad. Glad to see that You are enjoying the Game. Also, LoP OS harder than regular souls game.
Why not just respec at the tree? It's where you get the items for respec and you don't have to fast travel anywhere. I still don't understand why the statue even exists when the tree has better ease of use
No - If you change a motivity handle to advance its gonna be suboptimal - Gonna be a D or C Scaling - Advance Handle Upgraded = S Tier or A Tier Scaling
I feel like recommending pulse cells over being able to roll up from being knocked down is horrible advice. There's so many enemies that will combo you to death if you stay on the ground.
@@P4wnyhof I guess to each their own, maybe it's just habit from previous souls games, bloodborne is my #1 game of all time .I personally went pulse cell over amulet slot. That's partially because I've almost completely skipped leveling capacity tho
I changed nothing from one death into the next restart fighting Archbishop last night and I went from 78% slightly heavy to 81% heavy. Did nothing, literally died and spawned. How ?
Im on my first play through and just beat the champion dude by the respec statue. I got his ergo but the guy you give it to for a weapon is gone now? So where do you have to bring it?
I am 8 hours in, and I just from watching your video I realize I should not have used those rare ergos! Now I can't get the weapons I want! 8 hours wasted wtf.
uhm... Capacity doesn't have any caps at all. they removed that in the first update. Capacity gives a set 3 increase in weight all the way to lvl 100. and if you plan on going into NG+ you need A LOT more capacity than lvl 30. most important stat in the game, moreso than vitality, moreso than motivity and technique.
Games like this need a tutorial like feature where you can go in and practice your perfect guard until your confident enough to start the game. I wanna play this game so bad but I’m honestly a shitty player.
You can practice perfect guards near any stargazer. Just reset often and practice. I prefer to dodge over guarding, but it's satisfying to perfect guard.
Points in vitality past 24 are a waste imo. 12 HP per level? Nope. It’s absurd we have to level capacity above everything else though imo. Capacity should have been merged with vigor.
Why is "Mr. V" a puppet? 11:44 Also, I think some combination attacks via Fable should be mentioned. For example, the early game weapon the Baton, which doubles the next hit. It includes Fatal Strikes too. You can hit for 1000+ damage early on in the game with only 3 fable slots consumed with a +3 weapon.
If you need to refill fable before a boss fight or just because, visit the training grounds at Hotel Krat to instantly refill your slots
Smart thing should have mentioned
Yea! I figured this out too! Pretty easy just walk out and back in real quick haha
bruh and I'm just spamming heals with the fable refill p-organ buff
ill refill your slots...

Yeah took me until act 7 to realize I needed capacity. Then I had to farm like 15 lvls to help it catch up

Just adding to the #3, the second skill of Ouroboros Eye greatly increases the weapon's damage by revving. This also boosts the first fable art !
Didn't wanna go too in depth on the tips video here - But yes its fire :D!
Ouroboros is OP with the amulet that increases damage per hit up to 20%, cause the weapon rev'd attack quickly stacks it.

I like when weapons have an additional status effect like the frost sword from Dark Souls 3
When an enemy is electrified, burning or acidizied, they take more damage from your same weapon that caused the debuff.
one thing: capacity does not have a softcap. it goes up 3 weight every time, until 100
Interesting but I still think 20 is decent for a motivity/technique build. There's no point in farming ergos when you can simply end the game

And also I'm planning to take on the White Lady boss ids there any tips you could provide
if you mean the singer you need to parry her attacks until you break her sword to make it much easier, at that point you can just move and look to do a critical hit from her back.
About the cat I think you need to become more human to be able to pet her, you need to listen to music and lie in your playthrough, except to the blonde robot, you can tell him the truth :)@@tomchan742
Uroboro the overall best weapon for me. Love the straight heavy atk and avoiding hitting all my surroundings haha
Game is kind of easy so far with a Motivity build, I ran through Bosses on my second playthrough, whereas in Sekiro I could only get past Owl after a week of attempts. Big Wrench head and Police Baton Handle with charged heavy attacks can carry you through the entire game.
came across your channel through Lies of P and have been loving your videos & guides. Subscription is out and looking forward to more video.
Best regards from Germany 🤘
No kidding best tips video for this game
I had read that, in order to unlock the next phase P-Organ nodes, I would have to unlock two nodes from the current phase. I noticed you only unlocked one phase 3 node (the Pulse Cell enhancer). So, did you reset your P-Organ, using the Saintess statue, after unlocking phase 4?
You can skip phases. Like if you unlock 2 nodes in phase 1, it unlocks phase 2. Then you unlock the other 2 nodes in phase 1 and it opens up phase 3. You don't have to unlock any nodes in phase 2 to go to phase 3, this way.
If you reset p-organ, it doesn't keep phase 4 open. It completely resets the nodes and you have to unlock the phases all over again.
I did and also you can unlock P1 to unlock p4 it's just about unlocking big nodes!
@@FoNgThOnG That's really good to know. So, its possible to spend less quartz to unlock further phases.
@@P4wnyhof It's good to know I can unlock phase 4 without wasting quartz on a node I don't think it'll be useful to me. By the way, the only phase 3 node I found really useful to me was also the Pulse Cell Enhancer.
Great guide very helpful thanks 😊
Thx man,very useful video.
No Problem Sir!
Great tips. Amazing game ❤
Beating the game with only 9 motility and 9 technique is crazy
Nah - Either advance main or motivity main or technique main - Don't have to mix and match :D
My fav weapons are the Bone cutting sawblade with dancers blade and the live puppet greatsword with krat police handle. The krat handle is good for tight spaces as I find the dancers blade hits right to left so it gets caught on stuff
It's funny how i can parry lady butterfly's multiple complex fast attacks in Sekiro, but i have a hard time dealing with this games delayed attacks that drag on before they land, and they land FAST.
Amazing Thanks a lot
I dont know if its a glitch or something, but I could do the reset of P Organs and stuff, at the Golden tree. From the second i found it. So way before the game showed me this statue.
No thats new :) They just recently updated that!
@@P4wnyhofOh I see. But why then having the statue at all XD
NG6 and 4 characters approved 👍
You ain’t NG6 buddy, it’s okay.
do you even remember what color grass is
Why wouldn't he be ? I'm NG3 right now and not playing that much...
@@mickael922 NG3 sounds more reasonable than 6, use your brain lmfao. I’m on my third play through also
@@puddin4850lmfaoooo
Wait, the archbishop has a laser beam attack? I just platinumed the game and never saw that attack from him
xD You can cancel it by hitting his head :D
I love the dragons sword but your stamina takes heavy depletion after 2-3 attacks
The summon you can use fights with the boss weapon they can give so you can see it in action that way
I love how you say AD-VAHNSSS? 🤣🤣
Finally done it, im sure your strategy does work, but i found if i could survive long enough to get him to 1 third health. I can then use 3 cells to fin8sh him off😊
I'm like level 200 at least and aim to max out my character. Advance seems to be a more useful stat than I first realised as it adds to resistances
Why do people keep recommending the Saintess statue when you can actually respec your points way before that at the gold coin tree right after the black rabbit brotherhood boss fight
Because you could not respecc at the beginning of the game :) This was patched in a bit later!
Easy mode would be using summons (specters) I know you can’t for every boss but the majority you can. I was on ng+++ and figured I’d finally use one bc why not.
I have now died of laxasia over 100 times after 3 days (mostly in the 2nd phase)
I don't have the strongest weapon (starting weapon +10) on strength. And I'm not even remotely broken. I know it's my fault if I get too greedy or something else happens.
After all this shit, I'm even more motivated to beat her ass today.
You can do it!
I will do it. I will!
I can play the First phase under 20sec Without getting any damage @@P4wnyhof
You can also respec directly at the gold tree. Just give it a moment at no coins and if there’s a coin, collect, wait a moment then the menu will pop up. Reset p-organ stats all that jazz
Could not on this patch :)
A thing i found later than i should have is if you arnt able to get to the statue room to reset level you can interact with the gold coin tree to do the same thing
7:15 increasing pulse cell recovery isn’t for keeping up with the hp you’re getting since the pulse cells heal you based on the percentage of your health, so if you heal half your health bar with one, that’ll be 200hp if you have 400hp, and 300hp if you have 600hp
It helps you get the pulse cell in fewer hits though right? So you can use it more often.
@@Reiner5200 no, it helps how much you heal with each pulse cell
This all good but I stuck on first boss😢
Funny thing I beat Bloodborne and dlc but somehow this game is harder for me or I just got older 😂
Try locking frames to 60fps if you are on pc - There is some weird frame timings else!
@@P4wnyhof I'm on Series X
Thanks
so my character is constantly heavy. unequipping items does nothing. it literally doesnt change my weight at all even if i unequip everything?
Throwable are straight up broke even after this latest patch. I beat bosses with just throwable ammo just to see if I could do it and I have beat bosses and mini bosses with just throwable objects. The shot put being my favorite but of course you got acid, fire, electric, pipes, saw blades, cluster grenades (that never seen to do much damage) and a bunch of other throwable stuff. Straight easy mode!!
Yo I just found out you can jump while running, this game is wild
Game is easy 10/10 :)
Throwing stuff for the win.
I love Lies Of Pie
Why does it have to be a specific build , why can't I just make balanced stats ?
Where do you get the perfection grindstone??? Im at the final boss and havent found it.
You buy it from vincinis butter
@@P4wnyhof Thank you, but the butler didnt have it when I asked. I watched a video on where all the supply crates are and it turned out that I was missing the one from Estella Opera House.
This is my first time playing a game like this I never had the confidence to play dark souls or any of the games like it because I'm a casual story mode kind of gamer and for some reason this game has me really excited and I was the idiot who thought this game wouldn't be anything like dark souls or those games I don't know why I just thought it'd be like a borderlands or far cry style game don't ask why I had that thought just what I was thinking so of course I had to get it.... And just as I feared I am terrible at it I made a tracker for each boss and 8 times for the first boss 23 times for mad donkey and 5 times for scrapped watchmen and I couldn't keep count to how many times I died to just regular enemies and I'm on the first part of phase 3 haven't even fought the first boss yet... But I'm so mad at this game because it's impossible for me, I highly recommend playing it because deep down I am having fun and I think people will love this game but I just can't play these games im just terrible at it
OMG!! What a Beautifull storie😂
Man, if You are getting far in the Game You are not Bad.
Glad to see that You are enjoying the Game.
Also, LoP OS harder than regular souls game.
Why not just respec at the tree? It's where you get the items for respec and you don't have to fast travel anywhere. I still don't understand why the statue even exists when the tree has better ease of use
does changing my handles scaling to max advance allow me to use any handle with an elemental tip??
No - If you change a motivity handle to advance its gonna be suboptimal - Gonna be a D or C Scaling - Advance Handle Upgraded = S Tier or A Tier Scaling
@@P4wnyhof dam tht sucks thx for help 🙏🏾 just unlocked Rosa key playin an advance build your channel has been very helpful.
Arm of God Amulet goes insane on a fast weapon. Booster Glaive + Police Baton handle has carried me through the game.
Do all amulets go to +2 ? Finished my 3rd playthrough and all are still +1
That’s cool but why did you get the bad ending?
I have all 3 endings no worries 👍
Wish I watched this first. Used all my boss ergo😢
I feel like recommending pulse cells over being able to roll up from being knocked down is horrible advice. There's so many enemies that will combo you to death if you stay on the ground.
Never ever did i need to roll up while knocked down :)
I thought so too based on another video i watched, but I have gotten no use or of it and regret my decision.
@@P4wnyhof I guess to each their own, maybe it's just habit from previous souls games, bloodborne is my #1 game of all time .I personally went pulse cell over amulet slot. That's partially because I've almost completely skipped leveling capacity tho
@Watchout4Vhe’s the only enemy you fight that does that move you don’t need it man
I changed nothing from one death into the next restart fighting Archbishop last night and I went from 78% slightly heavy to 81% heavy. Did nothing, literally died and spawned. How ?
OHH THATS HOW THE BALL THING WORK!
You can reset level at the money tree too.
Im on my first play through and just beat the champion dude by the respec statue. I got his ergo but the guy you give it to for a weapon is gone now?
So where do you have to bring it?
@Watchout4V cool.
5:16 And the best part is... and the best part is... and the best part is...
Damn this really has a lot of best parts.
You complaining about good things? :)
And farm Argo. I just got to chapter V and I’m level 93. Get that hp up to 35 asap
I am 8 hours in, and I just from watching your video I realize I should not have used those rare ergos! Now I can't get the weapons I want! 8 hours wasted wtf.
Nah can get them NG+! And you want to beat the game 3 times for all 3 endings :D
Where do you get the perfect party guard?
I'm starting to believe people don't know they can use the golden tree to re-spec WAY earlier than getting to the statue. Just talk twice to the tree.
The golden tree re specc wasn't in from the beginning :)
uhm... Capacity doesn't have any caps at all. they removed that in the first update. Capacity gives a set 3 increase in weight all the way to lvl 100. and if you plan on going into NG+ you need A LOT more capacity than lvl 30. most important stat in the game, moreso than vitality, moreso than motivity and technique.
How can I find perfection grind stone ?
It's towards the end of the game butler of vignini sells it after receiving one of those support items
In 2023 EVERY video that assumes a list MUST have chapter division.
Shall we make this a simple rule?
The holy ark sword is amazing imo can carry you the rest of the game w an upgrade or 2
Too big
@@krisjay3429 too weak
Can you do a video on how to beat nameless i didnt beat him on my 1st run and im trying to do it on my ng+
Was struggling to land heavy on staggered opponent. Used the shot put balls once and beat him
Games like this need a tutorial like feature where you can go in and practice your perfect guard until your confident enough to start the game. I wanna play this game so bad but I’m honestly a shitty player.
You can practice perfect guards near any stargazer. Just reset often and practice. I prefer to dodge over guarding, but it's satisfying to perfect guard.
Pro tip - put all your points into Capacity. There is no soft cap and you will never have to worry about being a fatty 😜
57 shotput? Fantastic
The Malum District Vendor is the best merchant in the game. Beat the shit out of Nameless Puppet thanks for Shot Put and Carcass Pots
Points in vitality past 24 are a waste imo. 12 HP per level? Nope. It’s absurd we have to level capacity above everything else though imo. Capacity should have been merged with vigor.
Why is "Mr. V" a puppet? 11:44
Also, I think some combination attacks via Fable should be mentioned. For example, the early game weapon the Baton, which doubles the next hit. It includes Fatal Strikes too. You can hit for 1000+ damage early on in the game with only 3 fable slots consumed with a +3 weapon.
It has to do with certain endings i wont say more :S
@@P4wnyhof Ah, gotcha. Going through my other endings as we speak. Guess I'll find out soon, thanks!
You could also do that at the golden coin fruit tree
